Common questions.

What is frictionless 3DS?

Frictionless 3DS refers to 3D Secure authentication processes where the customer is not challenged to enter a password or code. The decision engine assesses transaction risk in the background, allowing most transactions to proceed without customer interaction, improving conversion.

How does frictionless 3DS improve conversion?

By removing unnecessary steps in the checkout process, frictionless 3DS reduces the chances of customers abandoning their purchase. Customers experience a smoother transaction flow, leading to higher completion rates compared to traditional 3D Secure challenges.

Is frictionless 3DS compliant with PSD2?

Yes, frictionless 3DS is compliant with PSD2 Strong Customer Authentication (SCA) requirements. It leverages risk-based analysis to determine when a transaction can be exempted from explicit customer challenge, while still providing the necessary security protocols.
